Overview
Induction motors are essential components in modern electrical engineering, widely used in various applications due to their efficiency and reliability. They operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a rotating magnetic field induces current in the rotor, enabling mechanical movem...
Key Terms
Example: Most industrial machines use induction motors for their efficiency.
Example: The rotor spins when the stator generates a magnetic field.
Example: The stator windings are connected to the power supply.
Example: A slip of 5% means the rotor runs at 95% of the synchronous speed.
Example: Higher torque is needed to start heavy machinery.
Example: Induction motors rely on this principle to operate.
